Recently around SI I was discussing 401k and the terrible options available to me. Guess which one I have been giving 20% of the 15% 401k contributions to? VANGUARD/WINDSOR II 8,358,352 7.08 $949,508,787 31-Oct-07 Yep, yay me. That should take a fair hit tomorrow. Funnier still is looking at the top holdings of the vanguard windsor II from the 401k portal: YTD Return (03/14/2008) -13.16% ^^^ Most funds available to us are in a YTD return of -10% to -20%. Top Ten Holdings 3 as of 12/31/2007 Occidental Petroleum Corporation Imperial Tobacco Group PLC ADR Altria Group Inc. AT&T, Inc. ConocoPhillips Bank of America Corporation Verizon Communications Inc. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Citigroup, Inc. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company I guess they are a big holder of BSC, but not as big as the others. Maybe the JPM can have some offsetting affect. The C and T are not so hot in there.
